In a paper entitled "Stripy Nanoparticles Revisited", Lévy and co-workers contest the interpretation of scanning tunneling microscopy images of monolayer protected gold nanoparticles that our group has presented. We show that the two arguments they use are ...

We demonstrate that ultrastiff bonding between nanoparticles can be engineered by ad hoc assemblies of ligands, reaching strengths comparable to that of strong covalent bonds. Our observation relies on femtosecond small-angle electron diffraction. ...

The present invention relates to a phase transfer based chemical sensing, specifically to a method for selective separation, detection and quantification of a polycyclic organic compound in a sample and a method for selective extraction of a polycyclic org ...

Most nanoparticles' parameters affect their interactions with cells. To date, all the parameters studied are basically static (e.g., size, shape, ligands, and charge). This is unfortunate, because proteins have struc-tural dynamics that most nanoparticles ...

A synthetic route is presented for the realization of ultrathin freestanding nanoparticle membranes that are built of gold nanoparticles protected with trimethoxysilane-bearing ligands. The mechanism relies on interfacial assembly in an oil-water mixture. ...

The design and synthesis of Janus nanoparticles has attracted great scientific interest in recent years. Novel optical, electronic, magnetic, and superficial properties emerge from their dimensions and unique morphology at the nanoscale. Additional propert ...

Compared to the standard methods for treating bacterial diseases, bacteriophages are eco-friendly and chemical-free. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light or sunlight hampers the efficacy of phage-based approaches. This is crucial when phages are i) exposed t ...

The invention relates to virucidal compositions comprising a sialic acid (SA) moiety, pharmaceutical compositions and disinfection and/or sterilization compositions comprising thereof and uses thereof in disinfection and/or sterilization methods and in tre ...

The invention relates to virucidal compounds, virucidal compositions comprising thereof and uses thereof in treatment of viral infections, for sterilizations and for disinfections. ...

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) studies have found stripe-like domains on gold nanoparticles (NPs) coated with certain binary mixtures of ligand molecules. The majority of these NPs' properties have been investigated for particles in solvents. Yet, mo ...

The invention relates to virucidal nanoparticles comprising a trisaccharide moiety and use thereof against influenza virus. ...

Chiral mixed ligand silver nanoclusters were synthesized in the presence of a chiral and an achiral ligand. While the chiral ligand led mostly to the formation of nanoparticles, the presence of the achiral ligand drastically increased the yield of nanoclus ...
